Plate and frame filter press
VPA series
Metso's Mining and Construction Technology
Environmental awareness has been the major driving force in the rapid development of the filtration and dewatering technology. Also increasing energy and personnel costs have made tougher demands on efficiency and automation of processes.
This development requires reliable automatic operation and simple maintenance from heavy industry. Metso's vertical plate pressure filters VPA has been developed to meet these requirements.
The Vertical Plate Pressure Filter VPA is a heavy duty machine, suitable for:
* Metallic minerals
* Industrial minerals
* Coal and tailings.
Main benefits of the vertical plate pressure filter VPA are:
* Light weight construction with machined polypropylene filter chambers.
* Compact design with pulling hydraulic cylinders for reduced space requirement.
* Filter cloth change, a one minute operation.
* Available in several pressure ratings for different applications.
* Few moving parts for low maintenance and high availability.
* "Smart" PLC-control system for fully automatic filter operation
* Load cell weighing system integrated to the PLC, for process control of the filter performance.
